Tickets for Kasabian's massive homecoming gig in Leicester on June 21 are on sale now. See ticket details below.
The four piece, who released their eponymous debut album in 2004, formed whilst attending Countesthorpe Community College in Leicester - and now they will honour their roots by playing to a crowd of 35,000 people in their hometown.
Guitarist Sergio Pizzorno told the Leicester Mercury: "It feels like it was just meant to be. It's going to be the 10-year anniversary of the first album, so it feels right. It feels like we've been building up to this since the start. We're so excited. Hopefully the whole city will come alive."
Pizzorno added he hoped the show will inspire Leicester's current younger generation. "We really want to do something to inspire the next generation of kids. If you're a kid and you see a band from down the road play a big gig in your city... I hope that's inspiring," he said. "We had to travel round the country to see the bands we liked when we were young, so it's great to be able to do this."
